Morning from the frozen north. It’s -13 here and a wind chill of -25. All schols are closed. All but ours were closed yesterday, but ours are today. The sun is rising in the eastern sky and promise of another nice day ahead. Always a chance of snow showers. After tomorrow we are heading back into the 20’s and low 30’s which are perfect winter temps. But being the hardy northerners we are, people are just bundling up and going about their business. I saw snowmobilers out yesterday and the news was showing some fat tire bikers out riding the wooded trails. For those of you wondering what that is, fat tire bikes are like regular bicycles except they have bigger and fatter, more lugged tires. They enable you to ride in snow, sand and wherever you want actually. Some areas are starting to groom trails for them un winter as they can’t ride in deep snow however. It’s a growing winter sport and they actually can be ridden year around. They claim that the design of the tires has a lower air pressure than regular bike tires and is actually a softer ride than the harder ride of regular bikes.
CArol, congratulations on finding your new place. Sounds just perfect. Like here, you have neighbors but yet not crowded. I’m loking forward to pictures too when you actually own the place. So sweet that your daughter is helping you too. You will have one big burden off your mind and something to do forvthe rest of the winter. Then you can walk out and lock the door this summer and hit the road again. I too repainted my house. Used a neutral beige that goes with everything. Now this winter am doing cosmetic upgrades.
Martha, the reason you are getting dry skin is cause the dew points which measure the actual amount of moisture in the air are low when it’s cold. It’s a common thing for us up here in winter. Right now the humidity here is 63%, but the dew point is -21, making for extremely dry air.
Geez Barbie, leave it up to CA to be so picky. Hopefuly you will get that straightened out pretty quick. Yay, for finally getting the new flooring installed. I know you have been waiting for this day. Now you will be able to start putting the inside the way you want it.
Enough rambling for this morning. Not sure what I’m getting into today. Have a couple things, but will see where the day goes. Hope you all have a nice day.
